Solved: adb won't list android device

Question

I was banging head against this for a few days.  I tried all the udev rules out there.  Then realized they didn't apply if running as root. so I google my device id and saw a post about usb_modeswitch (http://www.draisberghof.de/usb_modeswitch/) I installed the package and problem is solved.
Hope this helps.

Answer 1

I use the AUR package android-udev.
The google part is :
# Google
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="adbusers"
# NEXUS S
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e21",
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e22", SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e20", SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
# Nexus One
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e11",
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="4e12", SYMLINK+="android_adb"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="0fff", SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
# Generic and unspecified debug interface
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTR{idProduct}=="d00d", SYMLINK+="android_fastboot"
And I'm part of the adbusers Group.
